  3. Uh, tensions between American, Pearl Harbor rising over the Great
  4. Depression for a few different reasons, but essentially uh they
  5. were trying to take over china and game uh control
  6. over the pacific ocean.
  7. And the only defense in America had for the pacific
  8. ocean was Pearl Harbor essentially and their naval fleet.
  9. So I just wanted to take it out.
  10. Uh, why are we not ready for the attack?
  11. Um Hawaii is 4000 miles away from Japan.
  12. So Japan had to use a large amount of gasoline
  13. and uh airplane fuel to get over where Hawaii was
  14. from Japan and there was a huge storm over by
  15. Japan during this time.
  16. As a result, there wasn't really any guards on standby
  17. or any planes or anything in the sky.
  18. Nothing was really battle ready preparing for the attack, nothing
  19. like that.

  42. battleships, essentially crippling our naval fleet like Big Time and
  43. killing lots of soldiers.
